September 8, 2006, Newsletter Issue #105: Why Does iTunes Sometimes Skip?

Tip of the Week

Why does iTunes skip occasionally, while the old Apple CD Audio Player seems impervious to skips?

The answer may be simply that Apple CD Audio is a hardware solution for playing CDs, while iTunes is pure software. As such, it's more dependent on the attention of the processor, and when other software is usurping system resources, iTunes is more likely to stutter. Faster processors tend to minimize this effect.
